The Beauty of the Message

By David Branker

What an incredible Easter weekend we experienced at Celebration Church. We witnessed more than 1,013 people making a public decision to follow Jesus Christ at our services. There is nothing more beautiful than that. I am reminded of:

bq. Romans 10:15 And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”

When the very feet of the preachers are called “beautiful,” it is not so much for the appearance of their toes. It is a description of the beauty of their message, especially when the message was received.  Remember what it was like when you and I made the decision to give our lives over to Jesus Christ? The joy and the excitement that came with a fresh start, the sense of knowing that you can talk to God and He is close to you. Some of you may also recall the pressure and push back you experienced from friends and even from relatives.

Let’s remember to lift up all the new believers in prayer. Pray that they will press on and experience all that God has in store for them. Pray that they too will experience the joy of bringing the message of Jesus to those in their circle. That’s the beauty of the good news…

    Wow. I love how you explained the beautiful feet scripture. It really is the beauty of the message. That large number of salvations also reminds me of when 3,000 were added to the Church in one day in Acts. It sounds like we are following in the footsteps of the early Chruch leaders. That really fires me up!
